Jay Leno just took delivery of his Demon 170

Greed...

Gouging mentality...

they know 'some people', will pay it too
We won't be around to see it, but I wonder how this will play out five decades in the future.

Five decades ago, I stood in the Clark Motor Company showroom, and argued with my dad that the three cars on the floor would be worth a fortune down the road. They were: a 1970 Superbird, a 1970 Moulin Rouge AAR 'Cuda, and a 1969 Hemi Road Runner. Owner Bill Clark couldn't give them away at the time. I know for sure that he discounted the Superbird and the Road Runner to $3500 each to move them. Bill kept his '69 GTX, rather than sell it at a loss. I played that card right - I own it today. Dad's prediction: he thought the Darts and Valiants would become valuable, after being recognized for leading the trend away from land yachts.

I found it amusing, that a few years later, '76 Cadillac Eldorados were selling at a premium over retail, being hyped at the "last American convertible," and in 2000, PT Cruisers also drew extra money. Left me a bit skeptical of "instant" classics commanding a premium over retail.

Found this info on another car forum.
I bought my 22 NBRE at DC for less than MSRP. If I could get a SS at MSRP, I’d buy one
